Bryant Gladney Foundation

The Bryant Gladney Foundation was created with one goal in mind: to build future generations of exceptional paramedics, honoring the memory of the incredible paramedic and educator Bryant Gladney, who lost his life in the line-of-duty. We do this by offering tuition scholarships to students going through a Paramedic course across the country. Each semester, we offer five $1,500 scholarships to students who display a strong passion for serving their community and who plan to pursue a life-long career in emergency medicine. We have two opportunities to apply: Apply by July 1 for an award in September; or Apply by December 1 for an award in February. We also invest in the future generations of Paramedics by offering continuing education opportunities for current medics. The All-Star EMS Conference will be held in Columbia, Missouri, on May 16-17, 2025. All of our programs are run by volunteers, and we rely on donations and sponsors to make our mission come true. So far, we have been able to award $27,000 in scholarships, and in 2025 we will award another $15,000.
